Great support from a local team. Knowledgeable and easy to understand.
Primo really looks after the community too which is a real bonus.
I was initially a wee bit sceptical in the early days but the wireless connection was way faster and more reliable compared to ADSL. Primo upgraded my speed for free as time went on which made it even better. Great pings and both speed test and real world upload and download speeds.
I have heard of other customers who primo have contacte ...read more

Worst internet company I've ever been with. Took them weeks to install Fibre after we had bought it, and then they delivered us an ADSL/VDSL modem, when we were paying for a Fibre plan. The Fibre modem we DID get was cheaply-made and had a relatively slow connection for Fibre. Now it has broken and will take over a week for a new one to be delivered.

Pros

- They give you 20GB of "emergency data" when your modem f**ks up. (Which is apparently very common for Spark users.)
- I am really trying to think of another pro but can't.

Cons

- They'll probably try to scam you. Don't buy a year-long plan and make sure your modem has fibre capabilities.
- Really poor customer service.
- Slow internet for the type you choose (ADSL, VDSL, Fibre etc.)
- Weak, ...read more

It was a great ISP with reliable service and speed until Vodafone took over.

Pros

Vodafone haven't made a complete mess of the service. Yet!

Cons

Poor quality help desk now.
Reliability issues with the adsl service in Botany Downs.

left them because after i quit sky and started watching netflix my broadband bill doubled and I never realized for over 2 months, never had any calls advising me that I was paying between double to triple what I should be, and suggesting a better plan, as I used to get with the mobile plan. So, after 20 + years with them (mobile, landline, and later on, broadband) I shifted providers. Now paying less than I was on a 120 gig limit plan,and getting unlimited internet.

Pros

good support

Cons

too dear and not interested in matching lower prices
